Los Angeles: A local family and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) are asking for the public’s help in locating the 16-year-old who has been missing from the LAPD’s Van Nuys area.

On January 29, 2011, at around 7:00 p.m., Cyrus Aaron Parvizi attended a wrestling event in the 5700 block of West Century Boulevard. Parvizi was last seen in front of the Hilton Los Angeles Airport. Parvizi did not return home in the evening and his family has not heard from him, causing them great concern. Cyrus does not have a history of running away and there is no evidence of foul play in his disappearance.
